Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder.
- In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until fully combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are firm to the touch.
- Let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra chocolate flavor, add a handful of chocolate chips to the dough.
- Stir in some chopped nuts like walnuts or almonds for a crunchy twist.
- Add a few drops of peppermint extract to create a mint-chocolate version.
- Use a gluten-free flour blend to make these biscuits gluten-free.
